Any 8th grade student who is “In good standing” may participate in end of year activities, which includes our promotion ceremony at Bensalem High School. We are proud of the great efforts your child has made as they transition to high school. Middle school promotion is a stepping-stone in the big scheme of our students’ academic career, which culminates with graduation from High School in 2028. The promotion ceremony will be one that is fitting and appropriate to commemorate middle school completion.

It is extremely important that you complete the mandatory registration online form to reserve your seats and indicate the dismissal plan for your child. 

Mandatory registration must be completed by May 31, 2024.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Good Evening,

This evening, Wednesday, January 26, 2022, Bensalem Township Police and Bensalem Township School District received reports including a social media post threatening to “shoot up” Shafer Middle School.  An investigation has revealed the threat to be not credible.
 
Out of an abundance of caution, Bensalem Police will provide additional presence at Shafer tomorrow.
 
Our number one priority is to make sure students and staff are safe.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We have a special treat for all 7th & 8th grade Sharks for this asynchronous learning day today.  To help us continue our celebration of Black History Month we have a very special guest joining the entire school today on a 2 o’clock Zoom session.  Dr. Eugene Richardson, a member of the first African-American flying unit in the United States Military known as the Tuskegee Airmen, is going to share his story with the Shafer Sharks today.   He is 94 years old and is one of the few World War II fighter pilots remaining from this prestigious group.  Please join us for this awesome opportunity to learn about history from someone who not only lived during this time but, more importantly, someone who made valuable contributions to our country by fighting for our freedom and paving the way for African-American inclusion in the United States military.
 
The Zoom link has been shared with you by all of your teachers and has also been posted on the Schoology calendar.  All Shark students who are in attendance today will receive a virtual Sharkie in addition to any other incentives that your teachers are offering.]]></description>
